So I've turned into a softie in my old age. There I said it.
This morning on the way into work I was reflecting on the idea that in just seven, all too short, days my precious daughter heads off to begin her new life at AFA. Telling myself I was bored with the radio station, but really just looking to distract myself from thoughts of her leaving, I hit the up button. As luck (?) would have it, the tuner stops on the very next station just as a new song is beginning....
The crowd noise of a live recording can be heard behind Stevie Nick's voice saying "This one's for you, Daddy" as the acoustic guitar hauntingly offers up the opening notes of Landslide. Damn it! An emotional song at the best of times, today it was just... ... ... (clears throat)
Anyways, to stop this grumbly old bear embarassing himself even more, I will simply say I'm incredibly proud of both of my children growing older, changing, and serving something greater than themselves. And of all of the other children growing bolder and heading off to their lives.
Congrats to all of you.
